Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Tenders

Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Tenders (a.k.a. What to do with the "free" pretzels you get on an airplane)

5 boneless skinless chicken tenders

3 bags airplane pretzels (about 3/4 cup)

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning

3/4 cup flour

1 egg

3 tbs margarine

Combine pretzels, breadcrumbs, chili powder, and Cajun seasoning in a food processor. Pulse until pretzels are crushed and mixture is combined. Place in a bowl. In another bowl, place flour. In a third bowl, place egg. Beat well.

Heat margarine in a large skillet over medium high heat. Dip each piece of chicken in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
